Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (4,5) (10,0)
slope = difference in y / difference in x
slope = 5 - 0 / 4 - 10
slope = 5 / -6
slope = -.83333
Answer:
The slope of the line passes through the pair of points (4,5) (10,0) is -5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of a line, we will use below formula:
\(slope=(y_{2}-y_{1})/(x_{2}-x_{1})\)
Then for the two points (4,5) and (10,0) the formula becomes:
\(slope=(0-5)/(10-4)=-5/6\)
